Many people know that wallpaper was introduced to China from Europe and America more than ten years ago, and it was very popular for a while. However, due to the immaturity of the China market and the fact that wallpaper can only be consumed at a high end in China, and due to some shortcomings of wallpaper itself, as well as the wrong management and operation of too many wallpaper vendors, wallpaper just went into decline when it won people's favor. For more than ten years, people in the wallpaper industry have not done the status quo, and have won the favor of the public again through a series of measures such as improving wallpaper performance, reducing wallpaper price, improving construction methods and improving after-sales service. That is to say, wallpaper is making a comeback now, which has a strong impact on the decoration market in China. This is the modern history of wallpaper in China, so what is the longer historical origin of wallpaper? Around 4 BC, the earliest known "paper" appeared, which is Egyptian papyrus. In fact, wallpaper originated in ancient China, firstly because paper was invented by China people, and secondly because in 2 BC, China people stuck rice paper on the wall. In 15 A.D., Cai Lun, an official of China imperial court, invented papermaking with textile wastes such as rags as raw materials, which is the birth of paper as we know it today. At some point in the 8th century AD, several China prisoners who mastered papermaking technology worked under Arabs, and papermaking technology gradually spread throughout the Middle East. By the 1th century, Arabs replaced wood and bamboo with flax fiber to make better quality paper. However, now the quality of paper has reached a higher level. During the 12th century, papermaking spread throughout Europe. The earliest European woodcut printed pictures were religious souvenirs, which are now called "helgen". The well-known and oldest portrait of the Saint dates back to 1418, and now it is kept in the Royal Library in Brussels. China used this printing method as early as the 5th century. In 1481, Jean Bourdichon painted 5 volumes of paintings for French King louis xi, with angels on a blue background. After that, King Louis customized this portable wallpaper, because he found it necessary to move frequently between castles. Other rich people in Europe followed suit and commissioned painters to paint wallpaper for their walls, but the real wallpaper could not be called appearance until the printing press appeared. The earliest known wallpaper fragments in Europe were found on the beam of Lodge Christian College in Cambridge, England, and still exist today, dating back to 159. It was a woodcut pomegranate pattern inspired by Italian style, which was printed on the back of a notice issued by Henry VIII. The invention of wallpaper should be attributed to Hugo Goes, a printer in York. In 1599, the first paperhanger's guild was born in France. Jean-Michel Papillon, a French sculptor, is regarded as the inventor of wallpaper. He began to design matching continuous woodcut patterns in 1675, and the wallpaper we know today was invented on the basis of it. The oldest existing flocking wallpaper comes from Worcester, which appeared about 168 years ago. The production method invented by the British is of great significance, and the products of London workshops were all the rage in the 18th century. At first, fashionable Londoners customized expensive hand-drawn paper, which imitated the details of buildings or raw materials such as marble and plaster, but wallpaper finally gained favor with its advantages. Usually, wallpaper should be inlaid with lace similar to tassels or decorative edges of pendants, while flocking wallpaper that looks like velvet cutting effect is extremely popular.
